Danby

Danby is home to The Moors Centre, a superb National Park Visitor Centre set in idyllic surroundings on the bank of the river Esk. Facilities include exhibitions, nature trails, walks and events; tearooms, toilets and parking. Danby is also famous as the home of Canon Atkinson, 19th century author and cleric. Nearby is Danby Castle, an early 14th century palace/fortress of the Latimers and Nevilles. Duck Bridge is a mediaeval packhorse bridge over the Esk. The Neville family coat of arms can still be seen on the parapet. Danby Watermill is about 350 years old and is the only remaining watermill working on the River.
